SUMAC and BBVA have joined forces to advance toward a zero waste future in BBVA's banking operations across Latin America. This strategic alliance demonstrates how financial sector companies can lead the transition toward more sustainable, circular business models.
BBVA, one of Latin America's leading banks, has partnered with SUMAC to implement a comprehensive Zero Waste program across its branch network. The initiative seeks to eliminate waste sent to landfill, improve waste characterization, and establish sustainable waste management practices across all BBVA's operational units.
Through the Zero Waste program implemented by SUMAC, BBVA has achieved significant improvements in its waste management: substantial increases in recycling rates, significant reductions in waste sent to landfill, comprehensive waste characterization that identified new recyclable materials, and improved awareness and engagement among employees in sustainable practices.
The SUMAC-BBVA collaboration demonstrates that financial sector companies, despite not being traditionally associated with high waste generation, can make significant contributions to the circular economy by managing their operational waste responsibly. This initiative serves as a model for other banks and financial institutions in Latin America. Contact SUMAC and implement a Zero Waste program in your organization!
